Shayla's Story

My passion is volleyball.

I was looking for new things and a new beginning my freshmen year. I really wanted to play a sport I never played before. I saw volleyball tryouts, and I attended the first try out and it caught my interest so I eventually kept going and made the team. This is my second year playing volleyball and I am the libero for JV.

A Note from Mrs. Lawlor-King, Shayla's Mentor

Shayla was nervous to try out for the freshmen volleyball team. It is a nerve-wracking experience to begin a sport during one's freshmen year in high school. I watched Shayla blossom from an inexperienced young player to become a leader of her team, even helping to plan fundraising events. She is extremely proud of her spot on our volleyball team, and continues to work hard to contribute to her team both on and off the court.

You will not find a sophomore in high school more mature, driven, and focused than Shayla. She has limited resources, but you would never know. She perseveres through any challenge. She is extremely dedicated to her volleyball team. She attends every practice and game, and goes above and beyond with fundraising events. As a former volleyball player myself, I know how much she will benefit from attending camp. She can learn from experts outside of our school. She can learn from students outside of our region. This experience will improve her play more than any opportunity within the school.
